are Captains Locard and Herondart, attaches
of the cannon factory at Bourges. Captain
Locard is a scientific chemist and inventor
and his discovery of this powder is regarded
in France with the greatest interest. It is
called melinite because it resembles honey.
The experiments now taking place upon mod
els of the greatest durability costing between
ten and fifteen thousand dollars each, show
the terrible power of this new explosive.
Mr.. Labouchere, who knows great deal
about many things, has something interest
ing to say in correction Of some statements
which were recently made concerning authors
gains: First-Thackeray is reported TO have
said that he never made more than $25. 900
for any one of his books. Now, Thackeray
told a friend of mine at the Atheneum club a
few weeks before his death that he had
never been paid even as much as $25, 900 for
any book of his and that the bulk Of the
money he had made was the result of his lee
lures. Second-Dickens is asserted to have
cleared $50, 900 year during the publication
of 'sNicholas Nickleby." Dickens never
made the half of $4,000 year by his writ
ings. This error undoubtedly originates in
Talfourd's remark that he calculated that
Dickens oughtto have been getting $4,000 a
year about the stNicholas Nickleby'' time if
he had made better arrangements with his
publishers Third-Mr Wilkie Collins is
stated to have received $50, 900 for the two
novels alone. Now, Mr.. Collins was paid
$26. 900 for stArmadale" by Messrs. Smith,
Elder & Co. bt fore line of the story was
written. That was his greatest peeuniary
achievement and believe that his second
best price was 200.

IDENTIFY at the game of government, taking in
the contest indeed all the pleasure of the
gambler.
Hum bert l., both as Crown Prince and as
King, has always been in the habit of care
fully perusing all the papers in order to keep
himself au courant of every phase of public
opinion. His majesty, however, never takes
up book. Like his forefathers, he knows
nothing OF political philosophy; to compen-
safe for this void in his mental temperament
he is a singularly upright man and gifted
with rare good sense. The princes of the
house of Savoy are very keen on obtaining
information of all that goes on behind the
political scenes; the revelation of parliamen- n
tary tactics having always interested them
more than the consideration of constitu-
tional question. The Kings writing room
and the Queens boudoir are separated by a
passage in which is heard about every min
ute: 'Marguerite!" for his majesty consults
his fair consort about everything, has a pro-
found respect for her character and is ten
derly attached to her. The Freethinkers ac-
cuse her majesty of being too clerical; the
priests complain of her iukewarmness in
matters of religion.
Her majesty is passionately fond of Italy.
Her patriotism has not to be forced by edu-
cation because she herself is an italian. The
interests of the house which governs Italy
are the interests of Marguerite of Savoy.
Count Vasili's sketch of the Queen of Italy
is not particularly effective and might easily
have been made more interesting. Her ma
jesty, unlike the King, is for instance great
reader and devours every new English book
of any merit as soon as it can be sent over to
the Quirinal She speaks our language too
with exceptional facility, although she has
never visited this country.
Queen Marguerite is exceedingly English
in her tastes and takes the warmest interest
in our affairs. By the way we would point
out to Count Vasii and to the new editor of
the Nouvelle Revue that. having used the
dissecting knife pretty freely in half dozen
capitals, they should now in common fair
ness employ it on Paris society as it was and
as it is '~-s . ~ ~ '1'a-'~s=

Representative Price of Wisconsin, who
died the other day, was very rich man. A
short time before the adjournment of the
last session he was chatting with some of his
colleagues about his early career. s'When I
was a young man." he said, ''I drank like a
fish. I used to go out and booze up and
help the boys paint the town red. Then
was laborer and had no earthly possessions.
I have often been asked why, since l have

taler never drink anything intoxicating

could not retain property when he once had
it and drank whiskey, and after while the

THE GREAT sTRIKR.

The great strike in New York city and vi
cinity is a forcible illustration of the way in
which organized labor works nowadays. Not
less than 40, 600 men have left their work
because few coal handlers in New Jersey did
not receive the advance in wages they asked
for. Every organized laborer' who has to
do with coal in any way has refused to work
beavers, brakemen, Iongshoremen, cart
men, common workmen. Not few manu-
featuring establishments have shut down
and thrown their workmen for the time be-
ing out of employment; the price of coal is
causing suffering to an increasing number of
poor people, and the charities commissioners
of New York have been obliged to stop the
distribution of fuel to the needy. Not less
than three millions of people are directly
suffering in some way from this action, and
its effects are felt in the old world on account
of the delay of ocean steamships which can
not get coal.
Organized labor is much blamed for this
condition of things, and its tyranny"
roundly denounced. But the Brooklyn I'm
ion thinks that the prime source of the
tyranny is to be found further back. It
says: The original cause of it all will be dis
covered in the fact that the supply of coal
for these cities is practically in the hands of
single combination; and that the greater
the suffering of the people the larger will be
the profits of this combination. All other
organizations and combinations followed the
forming of this one as necessity. If it
were so to-day that the owners Of coal lands
could proftably mine and ship and sell their
coal as farmers sell their potatoes or wood or
any other product of the land or of their Ia
Dor, such thing as a coal famine would be
as impossible as air famine. If any
philosopher is disposed to become hysterical
about the tyranny" of labor organizations
he cannot logically refrain from raving about
| the tyranny of the coal combination, which
is the center aad source of all other kinds of
| tyranny that have followed.
There is not little truth in this. One
| tyranny is as bad as the other. Would that
some way could be found to avoid both.

Song Writing.

lErom the st. Louis Dispatch.
If the song writer's of this country knew
how much touching ballad or descriptive
song combined with catchy, tuneful air is
worth they would quit trying to compose
operas, instrumental pieces and classical
songs and would devote their energies to
ballads. What would Joe Emmett be with
out his songs? They have been swinging
through everyone's head, hummed, whistled
and sung on the street. at home, everywhere.
They have almost made Emmett what he is.
People go to catch his magnetic smiles and
hear his songs. Joe Murphy cannot sing
much now, but his songs always bring down
the house. I could name hosts of instances
where song has been the making Of play
or has waited play into popularity. Scan
lan's "Peek-a-Boo" has mode his name a
household word from the Atlantic to the Pa
ci6c Its value in actual cash a drawing
card and as an advertisement is simply ines
timable. It gave him his first big start in
favor. People went to hear it aud learned
to like the comedian from the impression
they carried away with them.
''Peek a-Boo" was a sudden inspiration.
Scanlan thought of it while trying to keep
cool en- dishabille on an easy chair one hot
summer day. The outline of the song was
created at once and for wonder he recog-
nized the value of it. He had two friends,
young men who had just left the employ of
large metropolitan publishing house and
were starting in business for themselves.
They had a mean little shop which did not
pay expenses. Scanlan met them day
and said f'I have song which you can
have, and when 1 sing it your fortune will
be made" He was half serious and half
Joking, but it turned out to be a prophecy.
''Peek- -a-Boo" was sung, published and sold
like hot cakes. 1t first brought the firm of
publishers into public notice and netted
large profits for it and for the comedian.
Scanlan was talking abou- the song yester-
day. 81 received six cents for every copy
sold, and have realized over thirty thousand
dollars from the sale of it alone.n
